GMC designs integrated form

GUNTUR: Now there will be only one application form for getting a new water connection, getting property tax assessed and levied and a drainage connection from the Guntur Municipal Corporation.

The GMC has designed an application form that will seek information regarding the service and citizens applying for permissions will be required to submit all the papers at a time so that they do not have to visit the municipal office many times.

The Municipal Commissioner Siddhartha Jain in a statement said that the integrated application would be finalised within a week and brought into use soon.

Another decision taken by the GMC on Saturday was formation of a committee to scrutinize the applications for grant of permission for construction of apartment complexes in the city. The Apartments Application Scrutiny Committee will have the Municipal Health Officer, Deputy City Planner, Municipal Engineer, Deputy Commissioner, and Town Surveyor as members who would send the file to the Municipal Commissioner.

The Commissioner would ensure that the process of sending the applications to VGMT-UDA for final approval was speeded up on the lines of a committee formed in GHMC.

There has been a lot of criticism from the builders that the applications for approval by GMC for construction of apartment complexes were being delayed inordinately resulting in financial loss.
